Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Ebbsfleet Valley
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. Typical bookings include society Christmas socials and christmas markets, with halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and crackling.
In Ebbsfleet Valley, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Ebbsfleet Valley: your questions answered
Is Ebbsfleet Valley close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Castle Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is turkey available?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
